Transforming raw footage into captivating stories is my passion. As an award-winning filmmaker and video editor based in Chicago, I specialize in post production techniques that expertly enhance visual content.
With a focus on honoring individual voices and cultivating meaningful experiences for audiences, I've crafted compelling video content for a wide range of clients, including Finish Line, Reebok, Nike, the YMCA, Pfizer, United Health Group, and more. Through communicative collaboration and creative problem-solving, I've created branded content, feature documentaries, advertising campaigns, and motion graphic explainers that engage and inspire viewers.
With over a decade of experience in the industry, including time as a freelancer, feature filmmaker, and senior video editor / motion graphics artist at Oystercatcher Media, I bring a wealth of skills and expertise to every project.
